van den Berghe, Rianne; de Haas, Mirjam; Oudgenoeg-Paz, Ora; Krahmer, Emiel; Verhagen, Josje; Vogt, Paul; Willemsen, Bram; de Wit, Jan; Leseman, Paul – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
This study investigates the degree to which children anthropomorphize a robot tutor and whether this anthropomorphism relates to their vocabulary learning in a second-language (L2) tutoring intervention. With this aim, an anthropomorphism questionnaire was administered to 5-year-old children (N = 104) twice: prior to and following a seven-session…

Leeuwestein, Hanneke; Barking, Marie; Sodaci, Hande; Oudgenoeg-Paz, Ora; Verhagen, Josje; Vogt, Paul; Aarts, Rian; Spit, Sybren; de Haas, Mirjam; de Wit, Jan; Leseman, Paul – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Providing first language (L1) translations in L2 vocabulary interventions may be beneficial for L2 vocabulary learning. However, in linguistically diverse L2 classrooms, teachers cannot provide L1 translations to all children. Social robots do offer such opportunities, as they can be programmed to speak any combination of languages. This study…

Fuhrman, Orly; Eckerling, Anabel; Friedmann, Naama; Tarrasch, Ricardo; Raz, Gal – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
A challenging aspect of foreign language acquisition is learning new vocabulary. Research has demonstrated the benefits of motor action to vocabulary learning, though these findings are rarely translated into teaching and learning practices. In this work, we present a novel paradigm for vocabulary learning in a virtual reality environment,…

Wu, Ting-Ting – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Memorizing English vocabulary is often considered uninteresting, and a lack of motivation exists during learning activities. Moreover, most vocabulary practice systems automatically select words from articles and do not provide integrated model methods for students. Therefore, this study constructed a mobile game-based English vocabulary practice…

Wong, L-H.; Looi, C-K. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
In recent years, we have witnessed the concomitant rise of communicative and contextualized approaches as well as the paradigmatic development of the mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) framework in analysing language learning. The focus of MALL research has gradually shifted from content-based (delivery of learning content through mobile…
